In the tribal village of Edamalakkudy, nestled deep within Kerala’s Idukki hill district’s lush forests, lives 92-year-old Sivalingam. Despite his age and being bedridden, Sivalingam’s determination to vote remains strong. He applied for the “vote from home” facility and a polling team undertook a challenging journey including an 18-km trek through a forest to reach Sivalingam’s home on Wednesday.
